Free State's doing well with turnaround times now.
.22LR no.3 (Tikka T1X for my wife and kids to use in NRL22 comps)
Submitted 11 December
Approved yesterday. 39 Work days

If you take into account the holidays that must be as fast as it's been in 30 years. I got a license immediately before the 94 elections in 21 calendar days but I think they were pretty much dishing them out back then.

My wife's 9mm application was also handed in and approved on the same dates. Dedicated sport in her case
App showed no update whatsoever from day one

4 apps for renewal, handed in 17 April, approved 21 May. I have learned however not to hold my breath for cards, and just to be pleasantly surprised when they do arrive

Morning! What is the average approval time nowadays? Process time sure slowed down the past couple of months. My last app took 51 days IIRC and that was including Christmas and new year...

Applied for my last one 9 May, approved 28 August. 112 Days, 77 business days. Not sure how long each of the steps took, as I wasn't following it that closely, but the majority of the time (around 3 months) was spent at CFR. Seems that's where the big hold up is nowadays.
